Delphinus, the dolphin, Karen's favorite constellation

The Milky Way cuts the sky almost in half on August nights. To its east is an area known as "the sea" because many of its constellations are named for sea creatures. One example is Delphinus, the dolphin, which is on the edge of the Milky Way.
